The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints

Defeat Ahzidal.

  • 1 of 4: Hit Ahzidal with a sneak-attack arrow, then quickly turn around and crouch-walk back past the burial niche that has a pressure plate in front of it. Take cover against the next niche past it.
  • 2 of 4: That should keep you from being seen by Ahzidal or his draugr allies, and you can wait a bit to get in another sneak attack.
  • 3 of 4: If that doesn't work for you, at least try to draw them out one or two at a time, and keep retreating so you don't get overwhelmed.
  • 4 of 4: After you kill Ahzidal, loot him to get his unique dragon priest mask, then wait if necessary to get the next objective.
